Abstract

PURPOSE:To measure the influence of cloths exerted upon a human body under various atmospheric conditions by coupling a pair of independent temperature/humidity control rooms through a connection pipe and fitting a fixing tool for positioning the cloths and a sensor to the cross section. CONSTITUTION:When cloth materials for the winter are to be measured and evaluated, a cloth for an outerwear and a cloth for underwear such as an undershirt are fixed on positions 14, 14' respectively and a temperature/humidity/heat flow rate sensor 15 is fixed between the positions 14 and 14' corresponding to the inner climate inside the cloths. The temperature and humidity of the insides of the temperature/humidity control rooms 1, 2 are set up to the temperature and humidity of the supposed winter and the temperature and humidity of the surface of a human body, and when the temperature, etc. of both rooms 1, 2 reach the respective set values, shielding plates 16, 16' are opened. Consequently, changes such as the temperature, humidity, heat flow rate, etc. due to the influences exerted from both rooms 1, 2 are generated, detected by the sensor 15 and recorded by an automatic recorder which is not shown. Thus, the influences of the cloths exerted upon the human body can be simulated and measured under various atmospheric conditions and the measuring device can contribute the development of ideal cloths.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an apparatus for measuring temperature, humidity, heat flow, etc. in a simulated experiment assuming that clothing materials are worn.

Conventionally, methods have been used to evaluate the comfort of clothing by computer analysis of the thermal properties of clothing using thermal mannequins and the physiological values measured during wearing experiments through wear experiments, but most of these methods mainly rely on clothing materials. Or analysis of a single characteristic of clothing.

This is just an evaluation, and when developing ideal clothing materials, steam,
It was not possible to analyze how moisture properties such as water and thermal properties affect the comfort of clothing, and this was insufficient to obtain development indicators for innovative clothing materials.

The comfort and discomfort of clothing is closely related to the temperature and humidity of the microscopic space formed between the leather pad and the clothing, and the climate within the clothing varies depending on the environment and clothing usage. Although it must be understood in the human body system, no measuring device from this point of view has been developed yet.

In view of the current situation, the present invention is designed to imitate the climate inside clothes when actually worn, and to experimentally test the environment.
The object of the present invention is to obtain a measuring device capable of measuring temperature, humidity, heat flow, etc. in a system of one person wearing clothes. In order to achieve this object, the present invention has the following configuration.

That is, in the present invention, the mutually independent temperature and humidity control chambers 1 are connected via a connecting pipe, and a fixture for positioning the fabric and the sensor on the cross section of the connecting pipe is provided on the connecting pipe. This is a device for measuring temperature, humidity, heat flow, etc.

It is also possible to install a temporary shutoff (+cl (IG')) on the connecting pipe (3), and by installing a separate shutoff plate, the temperature and humidity control rooms (1) and (2+) can be heated to the set value, Temperature rise and fall 111, k.

When the temperature drops, it has the effect of blocking the outside air, shortening the time until stabilization, and blocking the fabric attached to the fixture.

As for the type of shielding, it is possible to easily create one in which the cross section of the connecting pipe (3) is opened and closed in a sliding manner up and down or back and forth, or any type of such type may be used.
